Research Project: EPIGENETIC CHANGES AND CHICKEN MAREK'S DISEASE ETIOLOGY

Location: Avian Disease and Oncology Laboratory

Project Number: 3635-31320-008-18
Project Type: Reimbursable

Start Date: Feb 20, 2009
End Date: Aug 31, 2012

Objective:
1) Identify epigenetic changes. 2) Evaluate the epigenetic changes in relation to Marek's disease risk in chickens.
